Lux presents Hollywood. Leave Your Brother's Company, the makers of Lux Flakes, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring John Wayne, Mel Ferrer, and Mala Powers in She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Kealey.

From Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen, the history of the United States' cavalry is one of daring, accomplishment, and romance. And in our play tonight, she wore a yellow ribbon, we present a colorful drama from its glorious past.

As our stars of the RKO's green success, we present one of the most popular actors of today, John Wayne. And co-starring with him is a very versatile artist, Mel Ferrer, and one of the most beautiful young actresses in Hollywood, Mala Powers.

We wish to congratulate John Wayne on receiving the photo play gold medal award as the most popular actor of the year, and hope you'll continue to appear in such fine American pictures as John Ford's great production of She wore a yellow ribbon.

We know the ladies have been always been color conscious whether it was yellow ribbons in their hair or gay-floured handkerchiefs in their pockets, and they've always depended on Luxe Flakes to preserve these colors. And now Luxe with color freshener is more wonderful than ever. Here she wore a yellow ribbon adapted from the famous story by James Warner

Bella, starring John Wayne as Captain Brittles, Mel Ferrer as Lieutenant Cohel, and Mala powers as Olivia Dandridge. It is 1876. Custer is dead.

Custer and over 200 men of the Seventh Cavalry. It's more than just a victory for the Indians. It is a signal to unite. Kiowa, Comanche, Arapaho, Sue, and Apache. United in common war against the United States cavalry.
